Thanks for the info, by the way, I only referred to the Machine that way, because the word Zonophone is not listed in the Auction anywhere by the obviously unastute Auction/Seller, who refers to it only as a Universal Talking Machine. I thought it might be some kind of ultra-rare, undiscovered ultra-rare animal.
